Slack Is Overrun With Bots. Friendly, Wonderful Bots
There is a Slack bot for everything. Since Slack launched two years ago, it’s been the darling app, the hot new thing for intraoffice chat and organization. "Basically I said, 'Team, we’re going to switch to this new thing called Slack for a few days and see how it works," says Ben Brown at XOXCO, who embraced the platform while it was still in beta. "Suddenly Slack is becoming 'mainstream' in the context of technology workers, and Slack is the kind of environment where delivering services via a conversational UI finally makes sense, as opposed to email or a wiki," says Slack founder Stewart Butterfield. "This has created the conditions were there is finally a market for services delivered via conversational UIs—and it turns out that there a lot of services that could only really be designed with a conversational UI in the milieu of a messaging app for teams: PMbot and Scrumbot and Growbot and schedulers and team-level virtual assistants and a bunch of other stuff."
